Day 244:

This morning, woke up at 6, because Ayala performed in semi-finals at 9:30 Indiana time, which was 6:30 California time. Some of the same people came over and we all watched their show in our sweats and pajamas while drinking coffee haha. I was so proud of my brother. They showed a close up of him and a few of the other snare players after their run and of course, I cried, because I’m the embarrassing big sister, but at least he wasn’t here to see it. I thought it was their greatest show yet. Even more people came over later to watch awards, but unfortunately, Ayala didn’t make finals. We were pretty heartbroken because we (although biased..) thought they deserved it. But my brother was staying positive the times that I talked to him, saying that he thought percussion did really well, and he’s ready to get the indoor drumline season started. I love Nonie. Time for him to come home. After everyone left, Devin and I washed, clayed, waxed, and detailed our cars. Picked up Woodranch Mac & Cheese for dinner, and now I’m laying by the fireplace, ready to zonk out. I’m exhausted.
